I don't trust most police officers with guns. I for damn sure don't trust teachers with them. Additionally, most teachers don't want to carry a gun to begin with, and (mostly) don't want to shoot their students.

There are a million dumb things about the idea of arming teachers, but the biggest and most obvious dumb part about it is that most teachers do not want to attend class armed.

The most confusing thing to me, however, is how conservatives are able to hold the following beliefs/ideas simultaneously:

We must be wary of the government killing its own citizens (thus, we need our own personal arsenals/weaponry).

Let's arm state employees and give them a license to kill our children if they feel the need to do so.

Donates the proceeds to his church (which is itself tax exempt), and deducts the donation to lower his personal tax burden. Then uses the church itself as a slush fund. This guy is dodging taxes right and left.

Also, if you plan to attend class, I'd suggest living closer to the school and setting aside 15 minutes to get to the beach when you do that rather than trying to live near the beach and needing to set aside half an hour to get to class every day.

I'm a 32 year old male, born and raised in the United States. My university won the national championship in football a few years ago (Clemson). A bunch of friends gathered to watch the game and I came to hang out.

It was literally the first (and still remains the only) full game of football I had/have watched in my life.

You say even very casual NFL fans should get two of those (which seems fair), but you're completely ignoring the fact that some people 100% do not care about football.

I went to that viewing party for the socializing and food. I watched the game because it was on a giant TV in the middle of the room in which I was sitting. It's not like I couldn't understand what was happening, but it took a lot of questions to understand why it was happening.

I recognize that it's a bit unusual to not care, but I'm hardly alone on this one.

This makes sense to you because you hang out with other people interested in football. I didn't even know the Super Bowl was this weekend until yesterday.

As a person who won several thousand dollars of scholarship money via a Jeopardy like trivia game in high school without knowing anything about football, it's not surprising to me at all.

I could go through my friends on any social media platform and easily pick out dozens of people who could answer tons of questions about literature, math, science, history, video games, music, movies, and various pop-culture related things who would also almost certainly fail to get any of these questions right.

My point was just that it is not surprising to me in the least that 3 people who knew a bunch of other things happened to not know anything about football. I know tons of people like that.

Also, "studying" for trivia is really difficult. You might memorize lists of various award winners (can't go wrong with memorizing a list of Nobel prize winners or nailing down the order of the US Presidents), but learning the rules to a sport you've never watched just doesn't usually seem like a good use of time. It would have been useful this time, but how many other episodes have had "Football" as a category?

I believe that people exist who refuse to watch football, but it seems incredible to me that three people who knew absolutely nothing about football happened to be on Jeopardy at the same time -- even if a show like Jeopardy disproportionately attracts people who are uninterested in sports.

I feel like you've already explained how this happens.

Even I would be surprised if you picked three people from a random sampling of the general population and none of them could answer any of these questions.

But if you took three people from a sampling that already tends not to care about sports and told them that they were risking several hundred dollars by guessing incorrectly and taking no risk by remaining silent, I would not be surprised in the least that they wouldn't attempt to answer.

Sorry, failed to mention I was also on a trivia team and won a fair bit of scholarship money from it. So I was not surprised, because it fit with my personal experiences.

If the questions had been about basketball, or Ultimate, or even hockey, I feel confident I'd have done pretty well. But I don't find it all all surprising that even a group of trivia buffs didn't know any of them.

Admittedly, I would have gotten fair catch, and other than the Tom Landry question, the others were all familiar. I just wouldn't have gotten any of the others before the buzzer.
